I am looking at doing ALL feeding, winter *carry thru* & spring *build up*, with 50:50 sugar syrup in a top feeder. does anyone have any novel ideas of dispensing efficiently/effortlessly to 150 hives. i had an idea of (say) 200 litre drums full of syrup with some kind of bowser/pump attachment. any advances on that????? cheers, Mark Horsnell 150 hives buzzing around Auckland
